Japan Limits Hospital Access Amid COVID-19 Surge 

With worries of a sharp increase in COVID-19 infections overwhelming the country’s hospitals, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga announced Tuesday that only seriously ill coronavirus patients or those at risk of becoming so will be admitted for treatment. 

Others infected with COVID-19 will have to isolate at home in order to try to make sure there are enough beds available.  Japan is adding about 10,000 new cases per day, prompting the head of the Japan Medical Association to call Tuesday for a nationwide state of emergency.  In China, authorities said Tuesday all residents of Wuhan will be tested after the city recorded its first domestic infections in more than a year.
